Adelade - A new beginning

Chapter - 28 Unto the Breach

"Son of a...' Speron said as she looked thru the viewer as she saw Kreon.

Emily and Adnaan looked at Rathamin, who was biting the inside of his lip as he considered the situation at hand. "Things make a lot more sense now" he hissed.

Mefa was directing her people. Outside of 20,000 Ovion and Centrys stood ready or preparing for the battle ahead. Finistoria was discussing troop deployment as Adnaan felt his neck flush when he saw her.

Finistoria stepped close to the group, She addressed Mefa, "Second division now showing ready Regent" she announced, she looked at the young friends in turn, stopping a bit to long at Adnaan, with a final glance she turned to Rathamin, "May the Ancients favor those who fight in their name" she smiled a wicked smile.

The allies began their advance moving deliberately down the hill as the Korok troops advanced up. Rathamin tried to get a look or some kind of count of the enemy. The sprawling forest made the numbers difficult to see. 

All of a sudden, the advancing troops stopped dead. They stood motionless like statues. Rathamin immediatly reached behind himself and unsheathed the battle axe. "Uh huh" Rathamin said, mostly to himself. 

Ovion soldiers and centrys stopped as well, mostly in confusion. A high pitched whine fell over the area from behind the enemy lines, and a shimmer washed over the entire battlefield. After a few seconds, the centrys looked over the area to the Ovion, and attacked the Ovion line of soldiers. Chaos ensued as the centrys and the Korok attacked the Ovion soldiers, 

Rathamin hissed "I knew it" and his wings unferled fully and he lept in the air. taking the air high above the chaos. His research paid off he thought, the checking of the centrys for unknown parts or programming led him to some servers in the brains of the centrys, unknown even to them. Rathamin knew what he had to do. 

"NOO, Finistoria screamed and lifted her sword, not again, not like this she thought. Heart full of rage and hate she leapt from her perch and ran towards the battle. 

Speron saw the Basso woman take off towards the ensuing battle below and moved to follow her in solidarity, but paused briefly. "I wonder" she whispered, and she slid out her wings and took to the air. 

"Finistoria" Speron yelled out through the ensuing bloodbath taking place. The Angelic Basso looked up and lifted her arm in time to catch Speron's. and the two began to lift over the battle.

Mefa was dumbstruck, her forces turning against one another was too much for her to handle. She stood in a comatose state, Kors moved to strike her with a sword as one of her aides stood between them. Kors sliced into the aide as Adnaan swiveled and took kors off his feet, knocking him to the ground. 

Rathamin reviewed his findings as he moved beyond the front line. The transmitter to hold power over all the centry forces would have to be fairly large as it controls all the forces. Rathamin swooped over a large contingent of Korok forces and noticed a glint of a large pyramid type device, it was being manned by two technicians that seemed to be inputting information, On top was a small dish directed into the enemy forces. 

Rathamin shifted on his right shoulder and swung around, axe in hand to drive it into the device, he moved above the device and began his decent, teeth clenched he began his rapid decent. Just above the device he began to swing. Motion to his right caught his notice as he was hit and he fell to thr ground hard with a dull thud, his whole body hurt as he was slammed to the ground. 

Kreon stood over him. eyes blazing as he loomed over the larger Dragonian. Rathamin tasted blood as he moved to get up, He was immediately kicked in the side and rolled over  in the forest layer. "Why?" Rathamin asked hoarsely, a drop of blood pooling on the ground off of his mouth as he spit.
